put heads back on all same parts except 4 new valves to replace bent ones. Now I have 3 rocker arms that seem to be loose/wobbly. Not lifters and not rocker arm tested hole with rocker and lifter from other hole So what could it be. 99 gt 2 v

Thanks

Mod heads have followers not rocker arms. They also have hydraulic lifters(lash adjuster), did you soak them in oil before installing them? They are probably collapsed causing the looseness. Prime the engine before starting it and then check to see if they are loose.

Yea...followers...no it turned out guy at part store sold me wrong intake valves...they were a hair too short. I'll tell you what though...ive never seen so many people divided on lifters...engine shop said yea they are fine just need to pump up and speed shop said they are garbage....i soaked them also and didn't make much of a difference...but i dont see what the problem is simce the oil pump will be pumping them up anyway. I appreciate the response!!!
